Abstract
A projection illumination system which includes a source light with a projection axis passing generally centrally through this light, and dual-side light-gathering structure, including a reflector and a TIR lens structure generally embracing the source light on opposite sides thereof and along the projection axis, with this light-gathering structure being capable of directing, ultimately outwardly from the source light and unidirectionally along the projection axis, a major percentage of light generated by the source light.
